Dr Susan Ramsaran (220019) www.humshaughbenefice.org.uk Chollerton Vicarage Dear friends, A day or so after Christmas Day found me listening to the radio first thing in the morning. Trailing a programme to be aired later that morning the announcer was inviting listeners to phone in with their ideas of what to name the time between Christmas and New Year. There was no mention of an existing name for this period at all. I found myself firmly saying to the radio: ‘It already has a name and that name is Christmas.’ Had the BBC not heard of the Twelve Days of Christmas? Then I thought they should call it ‘Shopper-tide’ because, if we believe what we read, that is what most of us feel the need to do so soon after spending in the run up to Christmas. After Christmas the season of Epiphany then follows on January 6th by which time Christmas trees have been taken down and normality re- turned to our living rooms. If people have an idea of what Christmas is about they are probably less certain about the season of Epiphany. Epipha- ny means ‘manifestation’, ‘showing forth’, the time when Jesus is being revealed and recognised for the special man he is. Stories to illustrate this are read from the Bible each week in church: about his baptism, when he turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana in Galilee, the account of him reading from the scroll in the synagogue and the visit of the three wise men from the East with their precious gifts fit for a king. Then, on Ash Wednesday, we look in a completely different direction; from the stable in Bethlehem to the cross of Jerusalem. This day marks the beginning of Lent. Readings each week trace his journey through a land where he chal- lenged people to think about their relationship with God. He attracted many and upset some. These responses intensify in the days between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, and at the Cross a sword pierces Mary’s soul as Simeon said it would when he held baby Jesus in his arms thirty-odd years earlier - which is another reading we use during Epiphany. Lent gives us that annual opportunity to think on God, eat more simply (and perhaps even give up something) and make some space availa- ble for our spirit to engage with something far greater than any power on Earth. All these seasons, Christmas, Epiphany and Lent, hold special mean- ing should we choose to engage with them. I hope you have engaged with Christmas and enjoyed the mystery and wonder of the birth in Jerusalem, thought about the wise men and their special gifts and will think on the shadow of the cross as we have the opportunity of accompanying Jesus along the road to it. With many blessings and love to you and yours, Mike 2 Round and about Humshaugh Mothers’ Union The Mothers’ Union held their Corporate Communion, led by Revd. Michael Slade, in St Peter’s church in January. A rather nice array of scones and cakes followed… On Thursday, February 4th, the members will watch a film, made by Irish 12 year old boys. The film is called “Hide and Seek” and tells a story about a Dutch family during the second World War. The meeting will be held at the Langfords’ home and starts at 2pm. Pub Quiz The December Quiz, held on December 15, was won by “Half of Six” and raised £140 for the Tynedale Hospice at Home. On Tuesday 16 February, the Quiz will be held in aid of Friends of Humshaugh School. They would like to fund-raise for a Bamburgh trip in March, so it would be great if many people could come that evening. It will start at 8pm and Mick Jonas will be Question Master. Hap (Humshaugh Art Project) On Friday 12 February at 7pm, the HAP film will be the 1940’s black and white classic “Brief Encounter”. Ticket prices are £5.00 for adults and £2.50 for children. There will be 1940’s High Tea on sale and we will begin with a short talk on the iconic film before viewing. Do join us for an evening of romance, heartbreak and (non curly) British Rail sandwiches and cakes to die for!! Liesbeth Langford 3 WARK PARISH NEWS February! Where has time gone since we last chatted? Lots has happened in Wark, some good along with the sad. The Christmas decs probably will be by now stored away in the attic so that frantic time is behind us. All those years ago, whilst at school, we had a little ditty that went something like `rain, rain go away and come back another day’ the rest in my elderly years I cannot remember however how many times we all must have said something to that effect over the December/January period and as I write these notes the rain has gone and the cold spell has set in. Under the headline in The Telegraph today (14th Jan) Church of England worshippers fall below a million it indicates that attendance at services has plunged to its lowest level ever. Let me tell you here in St Michael’s, over Christmas, had many attendees; we could not have managed millions, however the school and our own `select your favourite carol’ service were fantastic. A sincere thank you to all who helped and took part along with a great thank you to those who came along On the sad time I must record the death of Grant Hutton, a life taken too soon, no words I could write will fill the space his death has left for a number of families within the area. Please be assured our thoughts are with you each day and week as we pray in St. Michael’s. At this time I wish to record how sad all were to learn of the death of Francis Xavier de Vivenot. Francis, with his clapped out pick up truck, was a regular in the village. He was a true gentleman who will be remembered by many. On to happier times; the wonderful Ladies Guild, one in particular will be out obtaining new attire (poor Richard - watch the bank account) to enjoy cucumber, without the skin, sandwiches, at Buck Pal - a well deserved reward, believe me. Just what we would do without Ann at St. Michael’s: - flowers, cleaning, keeping us under control—the list goes on. Enjoy the day and come back to tell us all what she – the Queen—wore and did she shake your hand! Without this band of ladies St. Michael’s , I can tell you now, would be in a sorry state. They now celebrate, they believe, their 40th birthday this March so are to, on a date and in a venue to be confirmed, hosting a celebration lunch for current, founding or lapsed members. The date is probably 10th March 2016. The March BROADSHEET will have further information. Those wonderful ladies are also arranging a Bingo within Wark Town Hall (why do we call it a Town Hall? – all sounds very grand) on Tuesday 1st March so look out for posters and come along, as I know you do, with pens and get serious 4 Typing` serious’ brings to mind we, St. Michael’s, have at the DAC’s request (the odd body that overlooks us) sent them our application for the `Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund.’ Hours have been spent by a number on this to obtain a grant to keep St. Michael’s open along with keeping water off your head (it does run to 16 pages, at least of questions). I have not looked so far at Easter services, they will be early, however we have decided upon Tuesday 25th February for our `LENT LUNCH’ soup, a few grapes and a good chat in the Westacres Community Room from 12noon to 2pm this year so look out for notices and please do come along to support us. Another request, please do not ask me about a new vicar as the powers that be are very silent, otherwise I would be rejoicing. So with God’s blessing I say to all, love from John And I do mean that PS. I have just photographed, for a very dear friend, their church for a parish card for 2016. Let us set ourselves a challenge to come up with something we could do . ———-o0o——— Lent Groups Our Lent discussion groups begin the week commencing February 15th. There will be three groups offered again this year, in Bingfield on Tuesdays, Barrasford on Wednesdays (7 Chishillways at 7.00pm beginning with homemade soup) and Humshaugh on Thursdays (The Coinings, East Farm at 11.00am ending with a light lunch). We shall be following a course called ‘The Psalms: prayers for today’s church’ over five weeks. We shall address questions such as ‘Why do the wicked prosper?’ and ‘Where is God when we suffer?’ as well as the many problems we still face in our world including suffering, violence, injustice, anger and bewilderment.

Dr Susan Ramsaran (220019) www.humshaughbenefice.org.uk Chollerton Dear friends, Do you consider yourself a citizen of this country or a subject? I have always considered myself a subject. That is because I am a loyal subject of Her Majesty the Queen. I have not known any other monarch in my life because she has been Queen longer than I have been alive. On September 9th she will, God willing, have reigned over our nation longer than any other monarch, surpassing Queen Victoria’s 23,226 days. She plans to spend much of the day in the Borders, travelling from Edinburgh to Tweedbank near Galashiels on the new Borders Railway which I saw being constructed last year during a short break near there. It is the longest new line laid in the UK in over a century and many have made comparisons between this event with those which Queen Victoria attended during her reign. Apparently she is not going to make much of a fuss over becoming the longest serving monarch. Instead she wishes to spend time with her subjects celebrating achievements in the communities and among the people she loves and serves.

  • The April Broadsheet 2018
    The April Broadsheet 2018 for the parishes of Humshaugh with Simonburn & Wark, and Chollerton with Birtley Gunnerton & Thockrington Revd. Steve Wilkinson Rural Dean of Bellingham Parson of Humshaugh, Simonburn & Wark Tel: 01434 681304 email: [email protected] www.humshaughbenefice.org.uk Humshaugh Vicarage Friends, This last few weeks have been absorbed by the current proposals on changing education here in our valley and beyond, and I’m sure you’ll have seen the signs and posters up in Wark and Chollerton calling for people to help save our schools. Much of my time has been spent with politicians, local authority staff and the diocesan education team, and then going out to schools and speaking to parents, teachers and governors, to tell them how strongly the church supports keeping their school open. Out and about, talking to people as I walk through our villages or visit, the strength of feeling is incredible and the support in our communities for all our schools resolute. The Church of England has a huge stake in these proposals too, nationally the church runs about a quarter of first and primary schools, here in our villages all three are church ones, and under the current proposals the authority will close two of them. The wider implications of closing schools in small rural communities are well known and stark; families move out, doctor’s surgeries close, businesses, shops and post offices disappear and the pubs close. What is well understood, but being ignored here, is the disproportionate, wider social effect of closing just one, small rural school.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
